* NightmareFuel: For what is one of the lightest and softest comic books in the Marvel Universe, the scene in "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6" with Ratatoskr whispering her lies into everyone in the city is surprisingly unnerving, between the abruptly dark art, the rapid montages of whispers and teeth, and the [[RealismInducedHorror uncomfortably mundane]] contents of the whispers. The narrator gets increasingly disturbed and then leaves, giving the rest of the book an eerily silent feel as Nancy wakes up to a burning city.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: by way of WorfHadTheFlu; Uatu the Watcher is present in the panel where Squirrel Girl had defeated Thanos just to clarify that that Thanos isn't a "robot, clone, or simulacrum". Then in another series, Thanos mentions that he can create clones of himself that even the Watcher cannot tell aren't him. And ''then'' WordOfGod states that that Thanos really wasn't a clone. All these were written by Dan Slott, making him pingpong against himself. It's not the first time he's has gone back and forth like that.

** Squirrel Girl's solo series doesn't have the crutch of TakeOurWordForIt; it actually ''shows'' how Doreen overcomes all those A-List villains. That most of those victories were thanks to her talking them down does not diminish anything. Most Marvel heroes treat Galactacus as a force of nature; it takes ''serious'' nuts for Doreen to go up to him and talk to him ''as an equal''.

It ends with Doreen and Nancy picking through the ruins of their appartment to find a picture of them together, all the while talking about their future. In the epilogue-thing, Doreen suggests that Nancy maybe should find other friends, since being Squirrel Girl's best friend is liable to mess up her life, but. Nancy assures her that she's not getting rid of her that easily.

Later, when they team up again, Ratatoskr seems legitimately sad when Doreen tells her she hasn't quite forgiven her yet, but perks up when Doreen tells her that she believes Ratatoskr can change.
